How to Make Blueberry Lime Salsa

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Place the jalapeño pepper under the broiler and char on all sides until slightly blackened (about 2-3 minutes, turning frequently).
  3. Remove the jalapeño and place it in a brown paper bag. Close the bag tightly and set aside for 10 minutes to steam.
  4. In a food processor, combine 2 cups blueberries, 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, and 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper.
  5. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped but still retains some texture. Do not over-process.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Set aside.
  8. While wearing food-safe gloves or using a paper towel to handle the jalapeño, trim the stem and peel off the charred skin.
  9. Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise, remove and discard the seeds and membranes. Finely chop the jalapeño flesh.
  10. Add the chopped jalapeño to the blueberry mixture along with 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 cup blueberries, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and several grinds of black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours) to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
